The OSP's proposal routing form must be completed, and institutional approvals obtained,
for all proposals and other activities involving sponsored activity.

Routing an electronically-prepared proposal for Institutional approvals does not need to
be delayed until the principal investigator has edited the proposal for typographical or
grammatical errors. However, it is expected that the proposal will have approvals from the
dean and unit chair (department chair or institute/center director) before submission to the
OSP, and that there will be no substantive changes to the statement of work or the project's
budget once it is received by the OSP.

The principal investigator and co-principal investigator(s) should electronically sign the
proposal routing form before submission to the unit chair and dean.

Advanced Notices and Lead Times for Review
